He didn't really care, guess he had a pension.

Although my father in law left CBS as a teck guy in the early 60's because it was too unstable. Plus he had a family and a house and there was an Olympics that they were going to send him to for a year to set up.

I didn't know 5 years was too much experience.

Actually I was one of the newer guys. It's not a company that gets rid of the long-timers unless there's no choice. Behind me was a part-timer (who they'd obviously keep for utility) and a newer full-timer who was probably cheaper than me. I think everyone else had been there at least 10 years, with the longest pushing 40 years of service (the company counts his Navy time).

Had a cousin and her hubby over for supper. A man who knew dad liked Mullet smoke a lot and gave use a whole tray of it. However, it was too well done and dad had trouble eating it. So invited cousin over to share the wealth.

She showed me how to eat it. You need to peel the skin off totally and then pick the meat off the remaining bones. Who knew? Dad has forgotten how to eat smoked Mullet, among other things.

I still am not wild about either Mullet or most fish. Too many bones to pick!
